Deductive synthesis produces an adapter (runner) from coinductive copatterns specifications that filters environment behaviors into client-expected traces; the procedure reduces simulation obligations and emits OCaml shallow handlers. Implementation called appear accepts copattern definitions, runs in ~10–150s on benchmarks, and yields schedulers within 12–15% of Picos performance. The adapter only removes mismatches (no new behaviors), handles cancellation and scheduling patterns, and compiles to runnable OCaml handlers.
